Electrical Testing & EICR Reports in Devon

Regular electrical testing can help identify potential problems before they become more serious. JB Electrical South West provides professional electrical testing and EICR services across Devon for homeowners, landlords, businesses and other property owners.

An Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR) provides an assessment of the condition of an electrical installation and identifies any defects or areas requiring attention.

Whether you need an EICR for a rental property, are buying or selling a home, or simply want peace of mind about your electrical installation, we can help.

What Is an EICR?

An Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR) is a formal assessment of the condition of an electrical installation.

During an EICR, the electrical installation is inspected and tested to identify potential safety issues, deterioration, damage or other defects.

The inspection can help determine whether the electrical installation is in a satisfactory condition or whether remedial work may be required.

An EICR can be useful for:

Homeowners
Landlords
Tenants
Businesses
Property managers
Commercial property owners
People buying or selling a property

Why Is Electrical Testing Important?

Electrical installations can deteriorate over time due to age, wear, damage, alterations or changes in how a property is used.

Electrical testing can help identify issues such as:

Damaged or deteriorated wiring
Faulty electrical connections
Inadequate protection
Problems with sockets or switches
Earthing and bonding issues
Overloaded circuits
Outdated electrical equipment
Other potential electrical defects

Identifying problems early can help you understand the condition of your electrical installation and determine whether further work is needed.

EICR Testing for Landlords

Landlords have specific responsibilities regarding the electrical safety of rental properties.

An EICR can help landlords assess the condition of the electrical installation within their property and identify any issues that may require attention.

We provide EICR inspections for suitable rental properties across Devon.

If an inspection identifies defects, we can explain the findings and discuss any electrical remedial work that may be required.

EICR for Homeowners

An EICR isn’t only for rental properties.

Homeowners may choose to have their electrical installation inspected when:

Moving into an older property
Buying a home
Selling a property
Renovating
Carrying out major electrical work
Experiencing recurring electrical problems
Concerned about the condition of the wiring
They want an assessment of an older installation

An inspection can provide useful information about the condition of your property’s electrical installation.

JB Electrical South West provides electrical testing services for suitable commercial properties across Devon.

Rental premises
Commercial buildings

how it works

What Does an EICR Inspection Involve?

An EICR involves both visual inspection and electrical testing.

Visual Inspection

We inspect the accessible parts of the electrical installation for signs of damage, deterioration, incorrect installation or other potential issues.

Electrical Testing

Relevant circuits and electrical components are tested to identify potential faults and verify that the installation is operating appropriately.

Identify Defects

Any relevant issues identified during the inspection are recorded in the report.

EICR Report

Once the inspection is complete, the findings are documented in an Electrical Installation Condition Report.

Discuss the Results

We can explain the findings and discuss any recommended remedial electrical work where required.

We work carefully to keep disruption to your home to a minimum and leave the work area clean and tidy.

What Happens If My EICR Finds Problems?

An EICR may identify defects or areas that require attention.

If this happens, don’t panic. The report provides information about the condition of the installation and highlights issues that may need to be addressed.

We can explain the findings in straightforward language and, where appropriate, discuss the electrical work required to address identified issues.

The necessary work will depend on the findings of the inspection and the condition of the individual installation.

I called Jeff for a rewire for a 1 bedroom flat and to get an electrical safety certificate for the property. He did the entire job in one day, I had been previously told this was a two day job atleast!! He uprated all of the electrics including fusebox and ensured everything was up to code. His work ethic, knowledge and patience has been outstanding! I would thoroughly recommend him, and will be using him for all future work. Thank again James

A trustworthy and professional contractor we’re proud to work with.

Jeff is a reliable, helpful and a very honest man. He quoted for a re-wire in my elderly parents house which they recently bought. When going through the wiring system he noticed that some of the newer parts of the house were not necessary to have new wiring put in and let my parents know. He also told them that the original quote would now be reduced because of this which they were very pleased about. He also did the first fix for them and is kindly working around my parents timings whilst certain rooms are put back together ie. plastering and decorating and coming back to do the second fix as and when the rooms are ready. As a family, we would definitely recommend Jeff to anyone that needs any wiring done. 10 out of 10 from us 👌 Natasha Biddle & all the family
